20130036111 | METHODS AND DEVICESFOR DATA RETRIEVAL - Methods and device are disclosed for data retrieval. At first images and reports are analyzed by respective parser units to detect both structures and text passages that are related to respective structures and text passages of a knowledge database. The detected structures and text passages are stored together with a unique resource located that identifies the respective structure and/or text passage at the knowledge database in a semantic annotation database. In addition a feature extraction can be performed to provide specific features of the images and/or regions of the images, whereby the features are stored in an image feature database. Finally an input query can ask questions that are used to provide a result to the query based on the semantic annotation database and the image feature database. The methods and devices may be used for data preparation and data retrieval of medical images and associated medical reports. | 02-07-2013 |
20110311940 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR SIMULATING THE MOBILITY OF A TOOTH - The present invention relates to an apparatus and method which makes it possible to simulate a realistic, reliable, and repeatable measurement of the mobility of a tooth and use the test results as a basis for producing and adjusting tooth prostheses. A goal is achieved by an apparatus for simulating the mobility of a tooth, comprising a bottom and a top bearing shell which are designed such that a substantially spherical zone is left open. The top bearing shell has a substantially circular cavity, through which a model of a tooth stump can be inserted. One end of the model of a tooth stump has a substantially spherical bearing zone while the other end thereof forms an elongate shank. | 12-22-2011 |
20110136243 | HIGH THROUGHPUT METHOD FOR ANALYZING THE FATTY ACID COMPOSITION IN PLASMA PHOSPHOGLYCERIDES - A method is described for determining the fatty acid composition of phosphoglycerides. In said method, methanol is added to a sample containing phosphoglycerides, the combination is mixed, precipitated material is separated from the methanol phase, an alkali alkoxide is added to the methanol phase as a base in order to catalyze a transesterification process, and the produced methyl esters are extracted from the solution obtained following the transesterification process and are gas-chromatographically separated. A test kit that is suitable for carrying out said method is also disclosed. | 06-09-2011 |
20110033479 | PROTEINS EZRIN, SERPIN B5, PEROXIREDOXIN-2 AND HEAT SHOCK PROTEIN BETA-1 AS AUTOANTIGENS FOR PSORIASIS VULGARIS AND POSTSTREPTOCOCCAL DISEASES - The present invention relates to autoantigens selected from Ezrin, Serpin B5, Peroxiredoxin-2, heat shock protein β1, and/or peptides comprising at least 5 consecutive amino acid residues of one of these autoantigenic proteins having immunological activity, or fragments, variants, or epitopes thereof and/or mixtures of at least two of the proteins and/or peptides as diagnostic tool for the detection of streptococcal driven conditions or as therapeutical agent for the treatment of streptococcal driven conditions. | 02-10-2011 |
20080305524 | Molecular Glue - The present invention relates to an adhesive material being composed and/or consisting of at least one protein obtained or obtainable from flagella from archaea. Furthermore, the present invention relates to the use of at least one protein obtained from flagella from archaea for the method for the preparation of an adhesive material comprising the step of isolating and/or purifying at least one protein obtained from flagella from archaea. | 12-11-2008 |
20080305038 | Transport of Nano-and Macromolecular Structures Into Cytoplasm and Nucleus of Cells - The present invention refers to novel conjugate molecules and their use or the transport of nano- and macromolecular structures into cells and/or the nucleus. More particularly, the present invention refers to conjugate molecules containing a carrier, preferably thiopyridyl moieties, and a cargo moiety. Thereby, the thiopyridyl moiety is bound to the cargo moiety to act as a carrier, particularly for efficient intracellular and/or intranuclear delivery of drugs, nano-or macromolecular structures, etc. The novel conjugate molecules are provided for the manufacture of a medicament for gene therapy, apoptosis, or for the treatment of diseases such as cancer, autoimmune diseases or infectious diseases. | 12-11-2008 |
